Id take Sissoko for 30M over Pogba for 90M......several times he´s changed the momentum in a game and made a difference.

Can Utd say the same for three times the price and the fact he´s played nearly every game this season
 
All our away games are going to be like this now, teams are going to pack in behind the ball and are not going to give us a second on the ball.

It's going to be a stressful few weeks!

Teams do that to us at White Hart Lane though and we always find a way through. I'm willing to bet we won't meet another team this season as well organised as Palace were yesterday.
 
You're excused old boy.
Still is the Dogs as far as I'm concerned. Just brings back memories of my early days at the lane when she used to be a regular half time guest, launching Monkey Nuts into the Shelf.


Wasn't her dad a Yid and drove taxis?
 
And that is the correct professional way to wish another team luck. After you have no more fixtures left to play against them. Twice in a few weeks Chelski get a lesson from Palace.
Though I'm sure he also felt that way before k.o....

But you're right, there is a time and a place to let people know!

Eh?

Woken up on this morning?

When did they start lodging at ITV?
 
PALACE FAN HERE:
Agree the media is woeful. It has contributed to the pressure on managers never to give youth a chance. Pocc is a major exception to this rule!

Pocc is my fave manager in the Prem for the record. I also went to Spurs v Gills in cup and was impressed by your home support. But as someone in the Palace end in our louder corner I genuinely could barely hear a peep out of your fans and did not even see hand clapping movements to suggest otherwise. Maybe the same vice versa
Did you think it was the same lack of noise last season, the 1-3? only that i was at that one and very noisy in away end imo. watched 2nd half on a stream last night, seemed pretty noisy?

btw, was at Chavs v Palace recently, the away fans were brill. smoke, flash bangs, non stop just short of a riot. unfortunately I wasnt in amongst it. AND I'd given the away ticket back to the fan on the tube when I saw it falling out his back pocket.

big respect for your home fans, always up for it. that Liverpool 3-3 has has had me in tears of laughter with the fake scouse commentator. For years I went to Palace matches when Spurs were away; crazy the noise that the crowds there could make.
 
For me last night the turning point seemed to be the following:

Sakho went down injured for a long time, their fans started singing "you're gonna win fuck all", we responded with "you've never won fuck all", the atmosphere got better, then when play restarted we really got behind the team, then our boys started playing better. First half many of us were trying to get songs going but we weren't loud enough and were outsung by Palace, unusual at an away game.

Am I overplaying our importance as fans? I feel that we can be the twelfth man at times.

Where abouts were you sitting / standing? Genuinely couldn't hear anything other than Spurs fans from where I was (Row 27 in Block T)

I wasn't there last night but I have been to yours a few times. I was there when we played you on your first game back in the Prem 2013(??I think??), I liked your display you all did when the teams walked out for the start of the game. I am not saying this to get a rise but apart from the pre-kick off stuff I could barely hear a thing from you lot. But when I got home and watched it on Match of the Day you lot could be heard. Do you think this is because the away fans are at the side of the pitch and in the corner, basically the two sets of opposing fans can't hear each other because they pointing in the wrong direction?
 
The first half was not great on or off the pitch. It felt like one big depressed hangover. The best way to cure a hangover is to drink. The extra beers at HT lifted the fans. Moving away from the moaning Paxton brigade (and some old dude literally licking his radio) worked a bit for me too. Basically the whole club woke up and turned up the intensity in the second half. We stayed positive. We kept working, passing, running, singing and believing... and then a bit of magic won it.
Haha, have noted many a time the singing improves after half time beers.
 
BFS saying Moss was on our side.
Puncheon should have been booked twice. Early doors on Dembele - which done him and makes him doubtful for Sunday- and then for hacking at Victor just before Wanyama got kicked by luka whatshisname and booked.
Luka whatshisname should have also been booked long before he elbowed Alli in the chest. Especially for the assault on Kane just after Sakho did himself damage trying to take him out.
